Wolf in sheep’s clothing: mild mannered with very good driving dynamics…surprisingly nimble and capable. German Suspension: really good for a non-adjustable setup for an ev which are usually heavier than their ICE counterparts. Excellent steering: On the light side but good feedback, very direct, and fun…it’s like driving a giant go-kart. Tight turning radius: getting out of tight street parking is easier than expected. Short stopping distance…even with rear drum brakes! Amazing power on demand with >330 hp and huge torque Charging curve… peaks at respectable 175-185 but maintains high level through to 50%. Battery preheating: manual and automatic options Excellent ADAS…collision avoidance, lane keeping and cruise control that you can trust more than most. Less unpleasant sounds including less intrusive audible ADAS warning sounds Excellent trip planning for Canada with up to date charging options: location, availability, and power of chargers. On board Nav system alerts for traffic problems even when using google nav. Wireless android and Apple connectivity and charging Onboard charging software allows use of dumb level 2 home unit, eliminating the need for a smart charger with control apps and all their glitches and dependence on strong wifi signals Creature comforts: 4 heated seats and steering wheel, ventilated front seats, front seats massage function, and front seat adjustability that allows all body types to find an excellent and comfortable driver and passenger seat position. Spacious cabin and large cargo area 4 USB-C outlets Of course, nothing is perfect. Limited value HeatPump: No help on short commutes. On longer trips it only helps with cabin temperature. No help at all with battery temperature. Maybe decreases energy loss by 30% in very cold weather when strong cabin heating a must. Eg. Assume 150 km lost from 450km range without a heat pump, bringing the range down to 300 km. With a heat pump decreasing energy loss by 30% the range would only fall to 345 km. The window controls, haptic buttons, and overuse of piano black can be annoying but you get used to it and it works well. The horn sounds puny…almost useless on the highway. Black headliner makes the glass roof almost a necessity for an open/airy ambiance. Driver cockpit: a bit utilitarian for my tastes. My last gripe is that VW does not offer the same/all options in different markets. In some European countries available options include HUD, 360 cameras, adjustable suspension, and a Homelink rearview mirror. I would pay more for those 4 missing features but they are not available in Canada

One reason I bought this car was because it qualified for full EV federal and state tax credits. The car is totally manufactured in the US qualifying it for the full $7500 federal tax credit. It will be gone under Trump. I leased the car because I exceeded the income limit. By leasing the vehicle, the dealer gets the tax credit but they passed the savings on to me. I also love German engineering. Not so sure about US manufacturing as the 2023 model was recalled 7 times and in 2024 there was a 3-1/2 month pause in sales because of a recall to fix the driver door handle which could cause the door to open unexpectedly. The car handles perfectly. I have driven it in the Mountains in Colorado and in the snow. The AWD system smooths out the icy and snow packed conditions. The technology is a bit daunting for me (I'm 78). I have to "trial and error" a lot of it. It's a bit tight to get in and out of for this old body, but once your in, it is very comfortable. I love the remote climate control system in the recent below zero cold snap.

We had the car a couple of months and took it up to central California. It made it almost half way there when we left after charging it and a block later stopped in the middle of the road. The car will not move, you cannot push a dead EV. Called VW roadside assistance and they sent a tow truck out after 45 minutes of blocking traffic. VW Ventura did not appear to have a clue on what was wrong and would not look at it for at least 2 days. After looking at the car, they still had no idea what was wrong and they believed it to be a charging system error. The dealer said they were in contact with VW engineering and would try to come up with a fix. 10 days later the car was returned to us with a new charge port and wiring harness supposedly. Had to drive 150 miles from home to pick it up and was a nervous wreck driving it home on the 101 and 405 freeways. I did not trust the fix and VW refused to bring the car to us. The car has not had the issue come up since the repair was made but I still don't trust taking it far from home. Read the reviews of VW and Audi cars, they all have way too many electrical problems and way too often VW/Audi does have a fix for the problems. The service technicians at the dealerships are clueless dealing with all the electrical issues these two car brands have and VW customer (we don't) care is a joke. I like the styling of VW and was considering getting an Atlas cross sport when the lease was up but after owning the id4, this will be my 1 and only VW car.

Have test driven this on 4 occasions, the last being last week looking for another EV as a second car. Make no doubt, this a very handsome vehicle! Wheels, smooth lines. While the interior is fairly comfortable, the seating position is odd, at best. The interior design and software screens looks like a child designed them, and the abundance of cheap black textured plastic is “scratch ready”. Now to the ride quality. Most EVs are smooth and quiet, this being no exception. But some EVs excel in this category. The iD4 is at the lower end, with poor noise isolation on rough surfaces, and doesn’t really ride that well. We were quoted 45k for a new Pro S….but thought, why not check out a 23 EQB used, with 4000 mi. For 38K. Do yourself a favor….they take a hit like all new EVs….the EQE is exceptionally nice for the money. Everything about it is better, except in the looks dept. I call mine “the Magic Bus”….
